The interchange used in the ramp metering is in Vancouver, Washington at the intersection of Interstate 5, WA State Route 14 and Washington Street in Downtown Vancouver, before crossing the Interstate Bridge into Portland, Oregon.
Dear Rabab, thank you for your comment. Your questions are hard to be answered in general. Speed harmonization and temporary usage of hard shoulder are something that should be decided on a case by case basis. In fact this is why simulation prooves particularly helpful for measures like these. This might not be the answer you have hoped for, nevertheless we hope we could help you a little bit.
Dear Joey, yes you are right. Hence in Germany (and most likely in other countries as well) such shoulder lanes are continuously monitored by video cameras. Only if the shoulder lane is completely unobstructed it will be opened for traffic. If an incident happens it will be closed again immediately.
@aopdjasldksa Nope, just check The Netherlands. The shoulders are constantly monitored by cams, so if a car comes to a halt (broken down car), the lane will be closed immediately. We also have small spots of 'extra shoulder' where cars can stop when the shoulder is opened for traffic. If you manage everything alright, there wont be more accidents :)
people in Detroit wouldn't be able to follow ANY of these improvements to traffic management! And, if they were installed, someone would complain that is was racially biased!

The simulation software is PTV Vissim. You can download a trial version for free. See the link in the video description text.
Dear omrhmdy,
you find similar ATM examples in the PTV Vissim examples/training folder.

Great from Vietnam😍
:55 look t the black big rig in the right hand corner. It completely stops.
is this on Google Earth?
where to get the simulation FREE?
How do you make them???
How does the software control variable speed limits? Cool :)
Can you put a wavedriving algorithm?
Awesome... But can it make donuts with jam?
How can I make this type of simulation ??
Km
We already have these things in The Netherlands, except for de HOV / HOT lanes
This is rules!
This is Cool

wait a minute
Chad, your wrong. You can stop one car. Becuase on the freeway there's many cars.. it could hit a car
Stupid idea letting one car through at a time. This would never work
